A temple shrine photographed indoors with a golden arched backdrop and green draped cloth. Two large gilded deity murtis stand at the back: a four-armed figure in a purple garment and a figure in gold with a crown. In front, a Shivalinga-style form is draped in orange and white cloth and covered with red and white flower garlands. A white-robed figure with a turban and rudraksha-style beads sits before the lingam, appearing to be a statue or devotee figure, and a smaller white figure stands to the right in a gilded niche. Brass oil lamps, a tray of pink flowers, a kalasha-like vessel, a bowl of white offering, and a folded red-and-gold cloth lie on the dais in front of the shrine. No living people are visible.
